Report #11485

[bug\_fix] found packages \(pkgA\) and \(pkgB\) in ...

Change the \`package\` declaration in all \`.go\` files within the directory to be identical.

Journey Context:
A developer refactors code and moves a file \`utils.go\` from package \`helpers\` into the \`models\` directory. They forget to change the \`package helpers\` declaration at the top of \`utils.go\` to \`package models\`. Upon running \`go build\`, the compiler throws an error about finding both \`helpers\` and \`models\` in the same directory. The developer might think they need to adjust their import paths, but the real issue is structural. The Go language specification enforces a strict 1:1 mapping between a directory and a package; all \`.go\` files in a single directory must share the exact same package name. The fix is simply updating the package declaration in the moved file to match its new siblings.
